The 4.0 L - V6 engine in a 1999 Ford Ranger has a compression ratio of ( 9.0 to 1 )
A cetane number is a rating given to diesel fuels. It is a rating of how fast the diesel fuel ignites under compression. In diesel engines, there are no spark plugs and the engine uses compression (pressure) to cause ignition.
Congratulations you have just added to the Misinformation Superhighway. Stock specs for Hondas is about 10:1 COMPRESSION The octane rating of gasoline tells you how much the fuel can be compressed before it spontaneously ignites. When gas ignites by compression rather than because of the spark from the spark plug, it causes knocking in the engine. Knocking can damage an engine, so it is not something you want to have happening. Lower-octane gas (like "regular" 87-octane gasoline) can handle the least amount of compression before igniting. The compression ratio of your engine determines the octane rating of the gas you must use in the car. One way to increase the horsepower of an engine of a given displacement is to increase its compression ratio. So a "high-performance engine" has a higher compression ratio and requires higher-octane fuel. The advantage of a high compression ratio is that it gives your engine a higher horsepower rating for a given engine weight -- that is what makes the engine "high performance." The disadvantage is that the gasoline for your engine costs more
The peak horsepower rating for a Kawasaki 1600 Nomad is 82hp and 108 ft lbs torque. The Kawasaki 1600 Nomad should be serviced every 7,500 miles.
Low compression, 2bbl carb = 230 hp High compression, 4bbl carb = 290 hp 1964 442 330 engine = 310 hp
72 hp
No, absolutely not. Diesel engines run at a much higher compression than gasoline engines. A typical gasoline engine has a compression ration of 10:1 while the typical diesel compression ratio is 20:1 or higher. The diesel burns fuel through compression and the gasoline burns by ignition. You must use an oil with an API rating of C (Compression) in a diesel. Gasoline engines use API rating S (Spark). Use exactly the proper weight and API rating as listed in your owner's manual. Use a gasoline motor oil and you will destroy that diesel engine. -IMPROVED - I totally agree with Almostevil. I own a diesel and this is what I use. So, I didn't "improve" his answer but do back it up!
62 hp @7000 rpm
'Knocking' in petrol engines is caused by petrols low flashpoint - its high combustibility. The octane rating is too low for the compression.
For your 750cc with a weight of 496 lbs stock, you have around 60 hp IF everything is tuned and working properly and the engine is in good shape.
This bike is 498cc and i love powerful bikes.
According to Bikez Motorcycle Encyclopaedia, 41 HP.
